Cordex Oase Pekanbaru

Good location, in the city center. Clean, drinking water (warm and hot) in the cooler at the corridor. Good internet connection (but there is a small catch). Very friendly, welcoming, and efficient staff; no one disturbs you, and you can relax.

Although the internet is not bad, you have to log in to the access point’s web interface every day by re-entering your username and password on all your devices, which is annoying. On the third floor (!) there is “mall music” playing throughout the day until 9 PM, and by the second day it gives you a headache. The room is small and clearly old and shabby; when I booked it (it was called a “superior room”) there was a photo showing a window, but in reality there was no window, only a small vent to the corridor, right next to which was a speaker playing this monotonous music. Upon checking in, I found the showerhead broken; I was tired and had to manage washing as best I could. (To give credit, I reported it the next morning, and they came to fix it while I was out in the city.) Overall, it’s essentially just a cheap (but overpriced) hotel pretending to be something more.

The location is near to the main street and business area, many food vendors nearby

No mineral water bottle and smoke detector provided, the water from the dispenser was awful, not recommended to drinks.

Great location, friendly and courteous staff, comfortable room.

Window with no view

Ok

Smell inside room

Arrived late, left early. Basic room, but clean and comfy. Great location in City Centre. Kind staff.
